The lowest-scoring Super Bowl in history occurred on Dec. 5, 1987, when Worcester South beat Shepherd Hill Regional, 3-0, on a 29-yard field goal by Nasser Shabo.

Auburn has won Super Bowls in each of the last five seasons under coach Jeff Cormier, which ties the statewide Super Bowl record for consecutive winning seasons held by St. Peter-Marian from 1992-96 under coach Owen Kilcoyne.

Several Super Bowl records were tied last weekend in games around the state.

Reading’s Alex Valentine tied the record for longest run from scrimmage when he scored on a 99-yard scamper in his team’s 27-7 win over Mansfield. The original record was set by Lincoln-Sudbury’s Eric Davis, who had a 99-yard run for a TD against Walpole on Dec. 6, 1997.

Also last weekend, St. John’s Prep placekicker Stephen Camarro booted seven extra points in the Eastern Mass. Division 1 win over Brockton, 48-28. That tied the record of Aaron Senez, who had seven PATs for Springfield Central against Shrewsbury on Dec. 6, 1997.

Boston Cathedral running back Kejonte Hickman set a record for most carries in one game with 46, which were good for 249 yards in a 22-20 victory over Madison Park.

The previous record was 45 carries by Holyoke’s Cedric Washington, who did it while setting a single-game record of 355 rushing yards against Greenfield on Dec. 2, 1995.

By the way, the game between Boston Cathedral and Madison Park was decided in two overtimes, only the second time that has occurred in Super Bowl play. The first double-overtime game was Leominster’s 13-7 victory over Chicopee in the Division 1 Central-Western Mass. game on Dec. 7, 1974.

Also, when St. John’s Prep led Brockton, 41-12, at halftime in the Division 1 Eastern Mass. game, it was the most points at halftime (53) in a Super Bowl. The previous mark was 52 when Nantucket led Christopher Columbus, 32-20, on Dec. 6, 1980.

Several other performances and highlights from Saturday’s games are also worthy of mention.

•Springfield Central’s Ju’an Williams returned a punt 68 yards for a touchdown against Longmeadow in a 27-0 victory in the Western Mass. Division 1 game. It was the second-longest punt return in Super Bowl history, with the record an 84-yarder by Kenny Cullins of Putnam Voke against Lunenburg on Dec. 1, 2007.

•St. John’s Prep’s 41 points at halftime fell just short of the record set by Clinton with its 43-0 intermission lead over Athol on Dec. 2, 2002.

•St. John Prep’s eventual 48-28 victory over Brockton totaled 76 points, second most in Super Bowl history. The record of 84 points was set in 2002 when North Attleboro beat Swampscott, 44-40.

•Leominster High’s 42-32 win over St. John’s High tied for third in combined points (74) with Springfield Central’s 52-22 win over Holy Name back in 2001.

•Finally, Tantasqua Regional became the fourth team to close a season with a losing record following a Super Bowl. With their 33-7 loss to Auburn, the Warriors finished 6-7. Other teams to lose in a Super Bowl and end with a losing record were West Bridgewater (5-6, 1993), O’Bryant (5-7, 2005) and Brighton (5-7, 2009).

Certainly, most coaches will agree that if you have to wind up your season with a loss, it’s much better to lose it in December than November.
